We have forgotten something.

Not suddenly but slowly, over generations. We stopped listening to the land. We mistook independence for strength. We built a world that profits from our disconnection and called it progress.

But the body remembers.

The nervous system, the breath, our hands, all carry the old knowledge that we are not separate from nature. That we are nature. Made of stardust and soil, of the same cycles of growth, decay, and regeneration that move through every living thing.

My work lives in that remembering.

Through fibre, handmade paper, and organic materials, I create sculptural forms that trace the marks we make and the traces we leave behind the scars etched into bark, bone, and skin. Not wounds to be hidden, but testimony to be honoured. The language of the living world, written slowly, over years.

Through my breathwork practice, my awareness into that sense of belonging is amplified, not through the mind, but through the body. Conscious breath clears what talk cannot reach. It restores what disconnection has quietly taken. It brings us back to ourselves, and in doing so, back to each other, back to the Earth.

The crooked tree still thrives. The mycelium moves in the dark. The river finds its way.

I would like to share gratitude for and acknowledgement of the Gundungarra people, the original and ongoing custodians and keepers of this land on which I live, work and play. I pay respect to tribal elders past, present and emerging, and I honour their deep spiritual connection to the land, water and community.
